The comment you delete in this patch does explain this. IIRC this the
equivalent of intel_guc_write_barrier in the i915. Also IIRC I added
that in i915 when working on GuC submission chasing extreme corner case
bugs in stress tests. That being said, I can't say with 100% certainity
that is required on all platforms or our usage in Xe in is correct.

I would not be comfortable removing this based on CI results. CI is ok,
but typically doesn't catch corner cases bugs which this is supposed to
prevent. To be comfortable removing this I would say CI is green, run a
battery of stress tests on RIL platforms in a loop, and finally confirm
with the hardware team that this in fact is not required.
